I have just received an email from Rockness if I fill in a questionnaire I may win £100 of beer tokens for the festival. I thought Rockness had no truck with the evil that is beer tokens and it was cash at the bar.

ARRGGHHHHHHHHHH

Of course if I win 100 of the feckers then I will love them :)

I quite like beer tokens! Ok its a pain to have to go to a ticket booth for tokens and then a bar but at the likes of T i usually buy 40/50 quids worth at a time and then i dont have to worry about faffing around with money at the bar and having loads of change in my pocket that WILL fall out and get lost at some point during the day!

Personally I'd like neither cash or tokens, hows about a prepaid swipe card bit like London's Oyster card? Could pre order months in advance then be registered and topped up online. Also if you lose the card at the festival, there could be some stalls where the card can be cancelled and you given a replacement with the same money on it(just hope nobody has found the old one and spent it haha)!

Would have less time waiting around, just swipe and go. Would require standardisation of drinks prices ie in multiples of £1.80...£1.80 a soft drink/water, £3.60 a pint, £5.40 a cocktail etc so you could top up in multiples of say £9 and be able to spend it all.

Perfect for me, what dya'll think?

The idea of a pass which you can top up with cash is already in the works. I doubt it'll be used any time soon but the big organisers like Festival Republic are definately looking into it. There's many problems with this, one of the main ones being that they could use the care to track all your purchases and use the info for marketing. They would basically be able to track your every move.

Quite easy to lose cash whereas if you lost something like this it didn't mean you have lost your money especially if there is a pin code or something

I guess if you need your mummy to look after your money and things for you, it's a great idea.

Some of us are perfectly able to take responsibility for ourselves, and are happy to do so. :)

I'm not saying I would use it i'm just saying it would be a good system for people who lose stuff

Jeez so defensive Neil :lol:

Not defensive at all, thanks. :) .... there's nowt wrong with stating a truth in a succinct manner.

People who lose stuff should try harder not to lose stuff, rather than expect others to take responsibility for their own failings via an unnecessary and expensive system which will cost every festival goer money, meaning that everyone loses their money because a few saps can't look after their stuff.

      Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play.

      2027 Stage Predictions

      By wro_lap · Posted

      Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
